Williams County Commissioners have decided to cancel for now the proposed sale of two parcels totaling 74.486 acres of county-owned land near the Hillside Country Living campus.

The decision came after an intense discussion with more than a dozen residents who filled commissioners’ chambers in the courthouse on Monday to register their opposition to the sale.

The Williams County Commissioners will hold their next on Thursday at 8:30 a-m.

On the agenda Thursday morning is the Courthouse Repair and Renovation Committee meeting. The Commissioners will also hear the hiring of an Auction Company. The meeting will begin at 8:30 a-m in the hearing room at the Williams County Courthouse.
